Get More Bang for Your Buck with a Two-Story Floor Plan
When designing your dream home, getting the most value for your investment is key. At Ascent Custom Homes, we specialize in helping you achieve just that by offering floor plans that maximize space and efficiency. One way to stretch your budget further is by opting for a two-story floor plan over a traditional ranch. Here’s why.
First, two-story homes like our Sheffield and Brownhelm floor plans deliver more living space on a smaller footprint, making them ideal for lots in prime locations like Sandusky, Avon, North Ridgeville, or Port Clinton. “Building up instead of out allows you to enjoy expansive, open-concept living areas without compromising on yard space,” says Dave Linna, Senior Project Manager of New Home Construction at Ascent Custom Homes. This is especially advantageous for families wanting to grow in areas where land is at a premium.
Cost efficiency is another major advantage of two-story homes. A smaller foundation and roof lower the overall cost per square foot compared to a sprawling ranch. With less material used in these key areas, you get more square footage for your money. Additionally, two-story homes often boast better energy efficiency, particularly in our Ohio climate, where keeping a home warm in the winter and cool in the summer can be a balancing act. “By building vertically, you’re not just saving space and money, you’re creating a more energy-efficient home for years to come,” adds Linna.
Design flexibility also plays a huge role in making two-story homes a smart choice. The Sheffield floor plan offers a loft area that can be customized to your family’s needs—whether as an extra bedroom, a home office, or a cozy reading nook. The Brownhelm provides distinct separation between common areas on the ground floor and private living spaces upstairs, offering the perfect blend of style and functionality.
